The product we use is based on an ancient Egyptian recipe which contains sugar, lemon juice and water. It does not contain any chemicals, has not been tested on animals, and causes no harmful side effects caused by allergic reactions. Our unique product removes not only hair, but also the dead skin cells, leaving the skin soft and healthy. We apply the paste at room temperature resulting in less trauma to the skin in comparison to waxing and other alternatives.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aba4d71 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"aba4d71\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db8112e elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"db8112e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1392\" height=\"1867\" src=\"https:\/\/queenofthenile.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_0453.jpg\" class=\"elementor-animation-float attachment-full size-full wp-image-593\" alt=\"Samar\" srcset=\"https:\/\/queenofthenile.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_0453.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/queenofthenile.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_0453-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/queenofthenile.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_0453-763x1024.jpg 763w, https:\/\/queenofthenile.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_0453-768x1030.jpg 768w, https:\/\/queenofthenile.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_0453-1145x1536.jpg 1145w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">About Samar<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">I am a certified body sugaring specialist and instructor\/educator, with over 30 years experience.  Being of Middle-Eastern background, sugaring is nothing new to me.  My mother would make it herself at home, as her mother did before.  I was introduced to it when I was 13 years old and more than 30 years later, I am still using it.  Sugaring has been the number one hair removal method in my family for generations.  It is the only method I use for myself, and because of its natural benefits, it's the only one I would recommend for my daughters. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56db2ce e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"56db2ce\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dee816e elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"dee816e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/queenofthenile.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/576c27_e02cf5a52af24142a007ea62ce395682mv2.jpg\" class=\"elementor-animation-float attachment-full size-full wp-image-155\" alt=\"suQar sugarpaste\" srcset=\"https:\/\/queenofthenile.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/576c27_e02cf5a52af24142a007ea62ce395682mv2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/queenofthenile.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/576c27_e02cf5a52af24142a007ea62ce395682mv2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/queenofthenile.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/576c27_e02cf5a52af24142a007ea62ce395682mv2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/queenofthenile.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/576c27_e02cf5a52af24142a007ea62ce395682mv2-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">About our suQar sugarpaste<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">It's simple.
